Talk:Steven Moffat

Removed phrase

I've removed one contention of the article, which is archived here. Speaking of the themes of Moffat's Who, this curious statement came up:

no one has died onscreen except as a result of old age or illness

This might have been written before Silence in the Library, cause clearly all but one of the guest cast dies there. They might've been saved as routines in a computer program, but they're all dead in any corporeal sense. And that's not counting the crewmates of the SS Madame de Pompadour, who were harvested for their internal organs. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 20:10, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Steven Moffat really likes fish.

"prisoner zero = fish

star whale = fish

saturniayns = fish

old people in the dream = fish like

sirulians = reptiles yeah but kinda fish like too?

basically steven moffat loves fish. the man loves fish."

Quote from a comment on the youtube vid of the Christmas special preview. I didn't notice it until I read the comment, but now it seems so obvious.

perhaps include something about this in the "Monsters" section? 173.180.24.7 07:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

how are multiforms,ecknodines,homo reptilia and star whales fish -Please Sign your post-

The multiform is eel-like. An eel is a type of fish.

A whale is a type of sea creature which resembles a fish in it basic body shape. a star whale also resembles a fish in this way. I won't defend the silurian reference from the original quote, although I think that reptiles and fish do resemble each other in that they both have scales.

But now I've realised Steven has a thing for aquatic-ish stuff in general (i.e. the names River Song and Amy Pond) not just fish-like stuff.

I have done my homework here guys even if my wiki writing style isn't the best yet - hey im new! - so wont accept any "just deleting this" edits to my piece - sorry!!

Closing out the show

Moffat's tenure as head writer of Doctor Who has been met with modestly positive feedback. However, some fans have speculated that Moffat intends to close up the Doctor Who storylines once and for all with the upcoming twelfth (or is it thirteenth?) incarnation. Furthermore, it is believed that Moffat intended this from the start and has been manipulating Dr Who plotlines to this end all along. This theory, although currently unsubstantiated, has infuriated the fans who feel initially that the story should last forever if not on TV and also that Steven Moffat - who has actually done very little for the show in terms of breaking new ground or developing plotlines effectively- should NOT be the one with the honor of ending it. A campaign was started in June 2013 on facebook hoping to make fans aware of this possible conspiracy and to gain support - in the form of page likes - to convince BBC officials not to follow through with Moffats plan.
